HS code 4412.92 is the 6-digit subheading for plywood, n.e.c. in heading 4412, with at least one outer ply of non-coniferous wood. It is used for birch plywood, oak plywood, maple plywood, beech plywood and poplar core plywood.
What HS 4412.92 covers
This HS code covers plywood products where at least one of the outer plies is made from non-coniferous wood, excluding tropical species. This broad category includes a wide array of hardwood plywoods, such as birch, oak, maple, and beech, which are highly valued in global trade for their aesthetic appeal, strength, and versatility. These plywoods are extensively utilized in high-end furniture manufacturing, interior design, cabinetry, decorative paneling, and specialized construction applications where a superior finish or specific mechanical properties are required. Importers are typically countries with advanced manufacturing industries and strong consumer markets for quality wood products, often relying on imported raw materials or semi-finished goods. Exporters are nations with significant temperate hardwood forest resources and sophisticated wood processing capabilities. Trade in these products is influenced by design trends, quality standards, and increasingly, by sustainability certifications and legality verification (e.g., EUDR/EUTR). The market demands consistent quality, specific veneer grades, and adherence to environmental regulations, making supply chain transparency crucial.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
